Regimental History


Chickamagua after battle report:

Report of Col. R. H. Moore, Sixty-fifth Georgia Infantry.

SIR: Eight companies of my regiment, numbering 229 (effective total), lay in line of battle during the night of September 18, on
the south bank of Chickamauga River.

At daylight on the morning of September 19, the regiment was ordered forward by Col. Kelly, commanding brigade. It continuing to advance carefully until arrival in front of the enemy's works, where it was again halted and formed into line of battle, and remained so until about 3 p. m. Sunday, 20th. At that hour Kelly's brigade, with the exception of my regiment, being ordered into action, I was left to support Jeffress' battery, and the regiment remained in that position until about 10 o'clock at night, when I received an order from Gen. Buckner to take charge of and guard to the rear a number of Federal prisoners. Reporting with them to Provost-Marshal Toule, I received an order to guard the prisoners to Atlanta.

During the two day's fight at Chickamauga my regiment was often subjected to the enemy's shells, wounding severely 3 and slightly 1.

Very respectfully,

R. H. MOORE,
Col., Comdg.,
Per JAMES M. GARTRELL,
Adjutant.
